Description

describing how the various OSs—Linux, Windows Server, Solaris, or Mac OS X Server—manage inter-process communication.

In your response, also include answers to the following questions:

  • Which OS uses the best technique to manage IPC? Why?
  • Do all the OSs provide support for multiprocessing?
  • Which OS, in your opinion, manages multiprocessing in the most efficient manner?
  • What, according to you, is a better model for OSs—a process approach or a thread approach?
  • Do you think that distributed OSs use a process-communication technique different from that used by desktop OSs? Support your answer with examples.
  • What are the features and limitations of the CISC and RISC architectures?
  • Which architecture, do you think, is appropriate for a server that supports high volumes of transactions and concurrent connections? Support your answer with reasons.

Inter-process communication
Inter-process communication involves how any OS controls its multiprocessing requests
through various interfaces all which help the programmer to choose between the different
available IPCs that are available. IPC plays a major role in coordinating activities and
program processes through the IPC interfaces all which has own advantages and limitations,
some of the known IPC methods include pipes, named pipes, queuing, semaphores, shared
memory and finally sockets. Each of the OS such as Linux, Mac OS Windows Server, X Server
and Solaris impleme...
